Turbo Pascal 6 byte reals to VB doubles. A simple demo program is also
provided. These routines are important if you plan to convert QB 3.0 or
earlier data files to VB.

that you specify.
[HCSHELL]
Help Compiler Shell

[HYPR_VB]
Hyper
(Martin, Wendell; $0)
shows how to add hypertext to your VB programs.
[INSIGHT@]
Basic Insight 2.00

Compiler. It enables you to select a group of files using File Manager

and italic text, two different typefaces, various point sizes, and more.

and testing period.
